The `append` processor appends one or more values to an existing array if the target field already exists and it is an array. Converts a scaler to an array and appends one or more values to it if the field exists and it is a scaler. Here the values can either be one or more static values or one or more values from the fields listed under 'fields' key.

`target_field`:: The field in which you want to append the data.
`fields`:: (Optional) List of fields from which you want to copy data from. If the value is of a concrete type it will be appended directly to the target.
`fields`:: (Optional) List of fields from which you want to copy data from. If the value is of a concrete type it will be appended directly to the target.
However, if the value is an array, all the elements of the array are pushed individually to the target field.
`values`:: (Optional) List of static values you want to append to target field.
`ignore_empty_values`:: (Optional) If set to `true`, all the `""` and `nil` are omitted from being appended to the target field.
`ignore_empty_values`:: (Optional) If set to `true`, all the `""` and `nil` are omitted from being appended to the target field.
`fail_on_error`:: (Optional) If set to `true` and an error occurs, the changes are reverted and the original is returned. If set to `false`,
processing continues if an error occurs. Default is `true`.
`allow_duplicate`:: (Optional) If set to `false`, the processor does not append values already present in the field. The default is `true`, which will append duplicate values in the array.
